General Description
This airless sprayer is a precision power tool used for spraying
many types of materials. Read and follow this Owner’s
Manual carefully for proper operating instructions,
maintenance, and safety information.
Operation
This equipment produces a fluid stream at extremely high
pressure. Read and understand the warnings in the
Safety Precautions section at the front of this manual
before operating this equipment.
Setup
Perform the following procedure before plugging in the power
cord of an electric sprayer.
1. Ensure that the siphon tube and the return hose are
attached and secure.
2. Using a wrench, attach a minimum of 50’ of 1/4” nylon
airless spray hose to the outlet fitting on the sprayer.
Tighten securely.
3. Attach an airless spray gun to the spray hose. Using two
wrenches (one on the gun and one on the hose), tighten
securely.
Make sure all airless hoses and spray guns are electrically
grounded and rated at or above the maximum operating
pressure range of the airless sprayer.
4. Make sure the pressure control knob is turned fully
counterclockwise to its lowest pressure setting.
5. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in its OFF position.
6. Fill the oil cup with approximately one tablespoon of
separating oil (P/N 0279920).
Never operate unit for more than ten seconds without
fluid. Operating this unit without fluid will cause
unnecessary wear to the packings.
7. Make sure the electrical service is 120V, 15 amp
minimum.
8. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet at
least 25’ from the spray area.

Always use a minimum 12 gauge, three-wire extension
cord with a grounded plug. Never remove the third prong
or use an adapter.
Preparing a New Sprayer
If this sprayer is new, it is shipped with test fluid in the fluid
section to prevent corrosion during shipment and storage.
This fluid must be cleaned out of the system thoroughly with
mineral spirits before spraying paint.
Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while preparing the system.
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of mineral spirits.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise.
4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to
the PRIME position.
5. Turn on the unit by moving the ON/OFF
switch to the ON position.
6. Allow the sprayer to run for 15–30 seconds
to flush the test fluid out through the return
hose and into the waste container.
7. Turn off the unit by moving the ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position.
Preparing to Paint
Before painting, it is important to make sure that the fluid in the
system is compatible with the paint that is going to be used.
Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while preparing the system.
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent. Examples of the appropriate solvent are water for
latex paint or mineral spirits for oil-based paints.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise.
4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to
the PRIME position.
5. Turn on the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the
ON position.
6. Allow the sprayer to run for 15–30 seconds to flush the old
solvent out through the return hose and into the metal
waste container.
NOTE: Hold the return hose in the waste
container when moving the
PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME in
case the sprayer is pressurized.
CAUTION
NOTE: Incompatible fluids and paint may cause the
valves to become stuck closed, which would
require disassembly and cleaning of the
sprayer’s fluid section.
